Abandoned Rehab Facility to Dream Home | 12 Month Renovation in 32 Mins

[@mfjaages]

I love how buildings and houses get a new lease on life. I also love how the fire place was kept operational through the build

[@dingeldiy]

we had to stay warm somehow! thanks for watching

[@dienacameron5200]

WOW, what a transformation!!! It's a beautiful home now and that property, another wow!!💗 You all are so talented!!😁

[@dingeldiy]

Thank you so much!

[@annetteduah09]

@@dingeldiy🥹you guys are so gifted and magical too !💕

[@birdybanks5819]

Beautiful. I like how they leave enough time, in the end, to view the finished product, unlike other renovations.

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks, glad you liked it!

[@ArtFreeman]

I enjoy watching homes, cars, or other broken things refurbished and made useable again

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for watching! This is the perfect channel for you!

[@guandubridgety698]

Amazing renovation, fantastic woodwork and space design.

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for the compliments!

[@MightyMattTM]

The fact you did all of this work in 4 months is impressive. Renovations must be built different in Aussie Land

[@dingeldiy]

It was a big team effort! Lots of help from lots of trades and people workin on top of eachother. A lot can be accomplished with the right skills and tools.

[@graciemaca6996]

Gorgeous transformation! A tremendous amount of work, but worth the time & effort. Love the stone fireplace & mantel! Nice job outside too. The mini horses are so cute!

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks so much!

[@finegrit5321]

Teachable moment. They completely replaced the floor because it was rotted out. However, did not address root cause, which is moisture buildup beneath the floor. They build a 5 sided box, with the 6th side just dirt. There's no ventilation, vapor barrier, or treatment. And, the sides of the box are brick, which is porous and lets in more moisture. You can see in the "new sub-floor" section of the video, the dirt is already moist inside the structure. Also, at the 0:39 mark you can see the broken floor joist. It has signs of bug damage. If they didn't spray anything to address this, the new wood they installed will get infected, even with removing the old wood. Years from now the floor will rot out again. Very cool build but this one thing can cause a lot of problems later.

[@dingeldiy]

Hello Yes your logic makes sense This house does have ventilation to the sub floor as required. The cause of the rot was termites not moisture The termites have been treated and concrete stumps and ant caps were used. I can guarantee you the floor will last a lifetime or even 10

[@lesleybridges535]

Don't you need insulatiuon in the floor?

[@ireneroland3070]

Never get tired of watching this

[@dingeldiy]

Thank you, I always appreciate the comments like this!

Thanks so much!

your hard work turn this abandoned rehab into a beautiful home

[@dingeldiy]

Thankyou

[@jessee.2681]

Great work! Full gut renovations are a ton of work. The only critique I have is that you missed a golden opportunity to condition that crawl space.

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@asdc-central2112]

Best part - the dog trying to get into the house near the end of the video!

[@dingeldiy]

😅 yes haha

[@XtremeSportX247]

I would have did a different insulation in the attic and I would have poured concrete for the slab replacement. Other than that IT LOOKS AMAZING

[@dingeldiy]

I wish i had more knowledge on the subject. Things can always be tuned and dialed in with the aid of a dyno and software. The ECU definitely plays a part on the newer more electronic versions of the 1kz pump. You can always clock the pump bit by bit and test drive the car to see how it effects things

[@MariaPAnthony]

Transforming an abandoned rehab facility into a dream home is a complex and rewarding project. It involves a series of steps from initial planning and demolition to construction and final touches. The process requires careful attention to detail, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

[@dingeldiy]

You can say that again! Have you ever been involved with a project like this? Problem solving was the main challenge with this one!

[@dandiehm8414]

Wonderful work! With the right budget, so much more could have been done to the exterior (gardens and landscaping). You did a great job.

[@dingeldiy]

I totally agree! more to come including a swimming pool but these things take time!

[@fredrobinson6990]

Beautiful house renovation.

What an amazing turn around. Such a beautiful space now. Congratulations

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@sidschwan8031]

Hi you had a good idea but you should have layed down gravel and then put Poly on top and put weeping tile around the house outside to keep the moisture from the dirt under the floors.

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@djdiscoworm]

FANTASTIC!!! GREAT MUSIC EXCELENT WORK. WHEN CAN I MOVE IN !!!

[@dingeldiy]

Any time for the right price! 😂

[@timtim2668]

Really Beautiful Home!!! Wonderful Job! I really like the before and after pictures of each room! Really good Video well Made! Most renovation videos won't show exact pictures of each room in order of before and after. So as a viewer we are able to see exactly how each room turned out.

[@dingeldiy]

Thank you so much! Thanks for watching!

NICE FREAKING JOB, BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Thank you!

[@kimdaffy4427]

Cheers Kim - this is down on the Mornington Peninsula, are you in Vic too?

[@eugenebennett5800]

in the cool days the one number one place for old wood is the fire place to keep the inside warm...

[@dingeldiy]

Old wood burns best!

[@tonyahoover6059]

The house is looking good Crandell. Wish I could be there to help you. I miss painting & all the other stuff. Also if I like to wash windows, dishes & do laundry.

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for watching, Tonya

[@mojoro23]

13:37 I think that window is going to have a lot of bird striks!

[@dingeldiy]

Potentially! We hope not. It's quite protected by trees so not a major bird flight path

[@creagle7890]

Wouldn't be an aussi video without a huge spider! 🤯😜 btw really impressed/inspired by the floortiling in the shower!

[@dingeldiy]

Definitely, probably found 3 spiders a day like that during the demolition phase. Glad to hear it! Have you got a bathroom renovation coming up?

[@kennethrush9363]

It all looks fantastic hope you enjoy living there very lucky couple 👍👍👍

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks, It's not my home but the owners are very happy to be finally living in it after lots of hard work.

[@MrFsunoles84]

what a huge yard!!! you should've put a pool in!!!

[@joanmccaffrey4020]

Wonderful remodel. Nice window and light treatment

[@dingeldiy]

Thank you very much Joan! I love receiving comments like this. The clients were very happy

[@Sapnek]

I just wondering would it be cheaper to build fresh from ground up?

[@dingeldiy]

absolutely not! Heaps of the framework, brick work, roofing and windows were fine to use along with many other things

[@therealtamiec]

I think not cause that brick work alone would cost more than arms & legs

[@janskovgaard8906]

Here in Denmark , it is the cheapest to tear down and build up new. Mainly because of tons of regulations , there is also lots of things that you - by law - is restricted from by DIY. If you are a craftsman , able to do a lot by yourself ( and family / friends ) , you can renovate and get a cheap house. And an old house can have a lot of soul , that NO new house has , and NO money can buy that. In Denmark we build brick houses , and old can have realy nice bricklaying work , with lots and lots of beatifull details. Those bricklaying details would be very very costly implementing in a new house.

[@trashyspeeds266]

No, breaking ground and relaying foundation would already take up all the budget of just repairing lol

[@reece3408]

@@janskovgaard8906 You should be able to do anything you want with a house once you buy it it’s your property

[@h.rutten2187]

Renovation looks great. Not a fan of the tile combination though in the shower area, I would have used the same tile thru out. Or I would have used something flashy likes gold, silver or stainless looking tiles or just some simple bright prime colors painted on stucco. I’m commenting on it because I was really thinking for a while that the smaller tiles looked as if it was part of the before renovation.

[@dingeldiy]

Fair enough! Cant please everyone, hopefully you can still find some things to draw inspiration from

[@samanthawishnoski-py9no]

WOW!!! Awesome transformation guys👍👍👍👏👏👏👏🍻

[@dingeldiy]

What a heap of work to vault that ceiling. Well done to you and all your subs the finished result is beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[@dingeldiy]

Thanks for watching!

[@kristaroberts1158]

Wish we had more info on this- more history on the house, why roofing was only replaced in one area, sq ft, etc!

[@dingeldiy]

Plenty of information if you watch the build series, there are 12 or so episodes that take you through the renovation week by week. Roof was redone because we removed load bearing walls. We installed roof trusses to span from one external wall to another which also meant we could have a raked feature ceiling on the inside all while being able to reuse the old tin roofing.

[@calirun1]

why have a floor under the floor? what's the cement supposed to do?

[@pauljames9393]

I like the Crittal rectro windows ! as for the outside why not clad in timber? bricks dont enhance the property. Maybe its the client or Oz taste !

[@dingeldiy]

Bricks dont need as much maintenance and some parts of the house were solid brick. it would have been a costly exercise when the money can be better spent elsewhere. Brick homes are very common in Oz and most people here have no issue with them
